Find the Value Using Identity

Find the Value

\[ x-\frac{1}{x}=3+2\sqrt{2} \]

Find:

\[ x^3-\frac{1}{x^3} \]

Solution:

Using identity:

\[ a^3-b^3=(a-b)^3+3ab(a-b) \]

Here,

\[ a=x,\quad b=\frac{1}{x},\quad ab=1 \]

\[ x^3-\frac{1}{x^3} = \left(x-\frac{1}{x}\right)^3 +3\left(x-\frac{1}{x}\right) \]

\[ = (3+2\sqrt{2})^3 +3(3+2\sqrt{2}) \]

\[ = (99+70\sqrt{2}) +(9+6\sqrt{2}) \]

\[ = 108+76\sqrt{2} \]
